Water at the interface is often the main cause of corro. sion, blistering, and disbandment of organic coating/substrate systems. Consequently, the transport of water from the environment to the coating/substrate interface is the subject of great interest in many industries such as organic coatings, asphalt pavements, and electronic packaging. There is no suitable method available to measure the...

Seawalls are built for Protecting of beaches against waves and preventing the progression of water to the beach. For a proper understanding about these constructions, a suiTable information about applied loads on these constructions should be existed. One of the important load that applied on these constructions is sea wave. Others loads are included: weight force of the walls, weight force of ...

A variety of implant-related short and long-term complications after lumbar fusion surgery are recognized. Mid to long-term complications due to cage migration and/or cage subsidence are less frequently reported. Here, we report a patient with a complete cage migration into the superior adjacent vertebral body almost 20 years after the initial posterior lumbar interbody fusion procedure. In thi...

In this paper, we present the results achieved in the long-term subsidence project in Norway, ESA AO-1104, which have made use of ERS SAR data. By applying the differential SAR interferometry technique referred to as Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) approach to a test area covering the city of Oslo, Norway, we show significant subsidence in several areas of more than 5 mm/year in the time period 19...

the effects of sodium chloride (nacl) salinity (control; canal water with 0.4 ds m-1), 2.5 dsm-1, 5.0 ds m-1, 7.5 ds m-1 and 10.0 ds m-1, respectively) developed after 6 weeks of pruning (beginning of study) on plant growth, flowering and quality of three cut rose (rosa hybrida l.) cultivars viz. ‘kardinal’, ‘angelique’ and ‘gold medal’ were studied to achieve better management, quality product...

The dependency of surfaceor groundwater flows and aquifer hydraulic properties on dewateringinduced layer deformation is not available in the USGS's groundwater model MODFLOW. A new integrated hydrologic model, MODFLOW-OWHM, formulates this dependency by coupling mesh deformation with aquifer transmissivity and storage and by linking land subsidence/uplift with deformationdependent flows that a...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective case series. PURPOSE To present radiographic outcomes following anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) utilizing a modular interbody device. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Though multiple anterior lumbar interbody techniques have proven successful in promoting bony fusion, postoperative subsidence remains a frequently reported phenomenon. METHODS Forty-three consecutiv...

BACKGROUND Clinical studies indicate that in total ankle arthroplasty, postoperative implant subsidence and medial tilt become two significant concerns of the ankle replacement system, and which are associated with the contact between the bones and the talar component. Up to now, little attention has focused on the contact between the bones and the talar component. MATERIAL AND METHODS In order...

Wildfire is a major disturbance in the Arctic tundra and boreal forests, having a significant impact on soil hydrology, carbon cycling, and permafrost dynamics. This study explores the use of the microwave Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technique to map and quantify ground surface subsidence caused by the Anaktuvuk River fire on the North Slope of Alaska. We detected an increa...
